Artist Robert Levi attended The Art League of Nassau County’s monthly meeting on Friday, Jan. 23, demonstrating how to paint color glazes in acrylic using thin layers of color to create a luminous effect.
He also talked about how to create frames using recycled materials. Levi generously donated an acrylic painting for the raffle that was won by ALNC member Suzie Alvey.
Levi has been a freelance illustrator and designer since 2003. The Cooper Union graduate spent 35 to 40 years in advertising beforehand.
His illustration work can be seen in more than 10 Blues Clues books, based on the television show. He also has painted backgrounds for various cartoons.
A documentary film, “Turning a Corner” was presented at the Tribeca Film Festival, which is the story of Levi’s life.
